We have tried this with bacon, ham and sausage. All options equally divine! I love this with roasted red peppers and spring onions and of course cheesy goodness. Green and red peppers would also be wonderful. I like to use a combo of both! We like lots of flavors in this house!
We top this with fresh salsa and a dollop of sour cream and it truly is a perfect Egg Casserole.

Tips for success
- DAIRY FREE OPTION: Use coconut milk instead of cream. In place of the shredded cheese, you a dairy free alternative.
- You can substitute ham or bacon for the sausage in this recipe.
- I have also done goat cheese instead of sharp cheddar cheese. You can add your families favorite cheese.
- You can also add sweet potatoes, hash browns to the egg casserole if you are looking to add a carb to the dish.
- My family likes more meat, veggies, and cheese in each bite than egg. You can increase the egg count if you want more of an “eggy” casserole. Just increase your cooking time. The center of your dish should be cooked all the way through.
- I also make this the night before and place in the fridge. Pull the dish out 30 minutes before you bake and breakfast is served!
My favorite grocery store eggs are Pete and Gerry eggs. They are amazing. You can go to their site and get a coupon. Try them out! I love their mission.
How to store and reheat leftovers
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
You can freeze this dish. Cut into singe serving pieces. Wrap Egg Casserole in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. I then store them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Remove individual pieces from freezer and place on a microwave safe plate and reheat.
Reheat fridge leftovers in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
